House clerk Karen Wadsworth holds hands with representatives on the floor at Representatives Hall and sings Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" on Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Members of the house and its staff made singing the unofficial theme for the Boston Red Sox to show solidarity with the city of Boston one of the last items on their agenda before taking a two-week break.

Now, I’ve liked that song since I listened to Diamond’s greatest hits in my parents’ car growing up. And I’ve loved that song since I got my university’s all-night diner to spontaneously breakout and sing it during my freshman year.

But it’s become a cool thing to rally around to show the support for a city that’s clearly hurting. Our legislators aren’t the only ones who took notice though.
